your mk2 is simply orgasmic

thanks! I'm super happy with it and I'm already planning for a few upgrades over the winter.

sure thing! I didn't wanna be that guy and drown anyone with photos but since you asked, I had sorta an impromptu photo shoot just me by myself between seeing friends and here's a few from that.

Borrowed a genuine Hella Heckblende from my buddy Mike Lynch. He runs Lock City Drift and has that rad VW 1.8T powered e30. He's been hoarding the Heckblende for a few years until he gets back in the MK2 game and after having it on my car I'm looking into purchasing a brand new in box one from a dude in Canada.



This one was shot by Justin "Canimuff" Hallock of mine and Timbo's cars at our condo:

that's it for this year

lifted/sitting on some Flyers for the winter while I get these wheels sold and get ready for the new Jawns. Got some other things planned too.

Here's the first of the new goodies that've been added for 2014. A friend of mine has had this Walnut-gripped Italvolanti for a few years now and I've been begging him to sell it to me. He finally was in a pinch and offered it up to me, I could not pass.

Originally he thought it was a VW Motorsports wheel because it had adorned a VWMS center pad along the way somewhere. After doing some research, I found out that this was originally fitted to an early 90s AMG of some sort and the pad had been lost since. I had to carefully redrill the center to bolt up to my VWMS hub (Italvolanti 3-bolt pattern) and I decided to run my 16v pad because I'm so partial to it. It's a bit bigger than my leather-gripped wheel, and I couldn't be happier. There will be a red walnut shift knob coming soon which should match perfectly.





Also, I was in the hunt for steering wheel goodies and I came across this advert which was cut from an old magazine. I'm unsure which but for $10 I had to have it on my wall immediately.

Lovely.

The Hella Heckblende completes the rear IMO, I love those things. I want one for a b3/b3 passat wagon when I own one, one day.

Can't wait to see the new wheels.

thanks man, I'm on the hunt for a Heckblende of my own.

I had a killer 1-off set of wheels lined up to be shipped here in late Dec/early January but some shady shit happened, I'm not gonna name names, but they got "damaged" and I wasn't contacted for a few weeks then was told I can't have them anymore.

I have another set of something else in mind right now I'm trying to secure. I'll post up as soon as they're in my possession

This is probably the only VW thread that I'm genuinely excited to read.

Looking forward to what you do this year. Your car was absolutely mint last year.

thanks sir! I've got some ideas brewing and I've changed direction a couple times but I think the end result is gonna be worth it. Trying to be as patient as I can with wheels, etc.

[Amuotka]

Clean. Nice job mate

[getamongst-it]

took a ride down to PA the other weekend & got my new wheels from Rob over at Collective.East. If you ever need anything awesome/vintage/rare VW absolutely hit them up.
